My AI keeps our app-versions help page updated by itself

In a diary aside, Manton Reece says his mostly-idle home the AI server automatically updates Micro.blog's 'latest app versions' help page. It checks the currently shipped version and whether an app is in review, while he still writes the release notes by hand.

How it works

  1. The AI runs on his home server
  2. Periodically checks the current shipped app version
  3. Checks whether an app is in review
  4. Edits the latest-versions help page to match
  5. He only maintains the release notes himself

Why it’s worth knowing

A home server agent quietly keeps a company's public help page accurate around the clock.
